Music's the context, the pretext is film, writing and literature, I love reshaping the way space and time are generally perceived. Parallel universes. Friendships, relationships and other invisible bonds. Anything British. Surrealism in museums, in cartoons and on the streets of Manhattan.
thinkers, dreamers, revolutionaries, realists, fabricators, fantisizers, modernists, reactionaries, inventors, talkers, achievers, lovers and fighters, winners, losers and the occasional off-track better.
